Janhvi Kapoor on personally promoting her film ahead of Roohi release date

Janhvi Kapoor, along with co-stars Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma, has been rigorously promoting their highly-anticipated film, Roohi. After the COVID-19 lockdown, this horror-comedy marks one of the first theatrical releases of a big-budget Bollywood film. In an interaction with SpotboyE to promote Roohi, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the reason why she and her Roohi co-stars have been promoting the film in person.

The 24-year-old said that it is fun to go out and meet people for promoting a film. Janhvi also revealed not getting the opportunity to do so since her first film, Dhadak, because her second film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl was promoted virtually. The beloved daughter of Boney Kapoor also explained why they decided to promote Roohi in person amid the pandemic and said that they are asking people to go to the theatre and see the film. She added stating why would anyone listen to their request if they promote the film by sitting at home. Janhvi also went on to say that Coronavirus is not going anywhere so one has to continue living while taking all the necessary precautions.

Meanwhile, the masses are quite elated for Roohi's theatrical release as it brings to them the fan-favourite horror-comedy genre. In addition to that, the film is bankrolled by the makers of the blockbuster 2018 film Stree, i.e. Maddock films. Roohi will showcase the tale of a ghost who abducts brides on their honeymoon nights. Alongside Janhvi, Rajkummar and Varun, this Hardik Mehta directorial is also said to star Pankaj Tripathi and Alexx O'Nell.
